This is what I believe: From the depths of your being to the outmost periphery, you recollect and construct forms that you believe, will fit the contents of your world intuitively yet precisely, until you realize your dream, or you realize your mistake. (Motto of my site.)

Thanks Tamas for reminding me of those lectures. I had mentioned them in the past, and have now added a link to the post.

Cheers,
Dan
